It’s me, hi!! I’m the photographer — it’s me! Mat! (IYKYK…)
I’m a wedding photographer by day, and when I’m not capturing celebrations and events, you’ll often find me deep-diving below deck into the dramatic world of Bravo. (Yes, I’m a Bravoholic.) Still working on that Loverboy sponsorship… dreams are dreams, after all! It’s all happening! ;)
I also adore outdoor adventures, I’m someone who loves chasing summits and landscapes. There's an unmatched sense of peace and tranquility when standing at the peak of a mountain watching the world unfold. I’m always up for experiencing life at its most beautiful.
Whether I’m behind the camera or engrossed in the latest housewives drama, I’m about the real, the beautiful, and the most memorable facets in life. Let’s connect and chat about your story. Whether it’s virtual, or over coffee/adult beverages.

How Mat & Ash came to be…
It was born from the dreams of two college best friends with a shared love for photography. We met at Hallmark Institute of Photography and our photographic journey has been a whirlwind ever since, taking us from different corners of our home states to countless adventures across the U.S., always with our trusty co-pilot, Daisy, by our side. Until the day we found our heart’s home in the beautiful state of Maine — our Vacationland.
In November 2014, our story took a turn that forever changed us. We experienced an unimaginable loss with the unexpected passing of the irreplaceable Ashley Thomas. Many were lucky to have met such a legend, she really knew how to light up a room, and it is an honor to carry on her legacy within our business.
Throughout this heartache, I have found strength — Ashley’s strength. I’m forever inspired by her, and I feel her presence, motivating me to carry on the dream we had built together. From this tragedy emerged a new vision filled with precious light and love. I can’t wait to share with you the magic that Ashley and I always dreamt of creating for our clients.
